Expedition Cruises

From Antarctica to Alaska, our expedition cruises—operated through our alliance with Lindblad Expeditions—bring you to some of the most remote and pristine places on the planet. Traveling aboard the National Geographic-Lindblad fleet, you’ll explore alongside a dynamic expedition team—seasoned photographers, marine biologists, historians, or naturalists, as well as a National Geographic-Lindblad certified photo instructor trained to help you take your best photos. Flexibility is built into each itinerary, so that we can take advantage of wildlife sightings or other spontaneous opportunities that arise. Our nimble expedition ships can navigate narrow waterways and small harbors that larger vessels cannot reach, and they're equipped with exploration tools such as kayaks or paddleboards, snorkeling gear and Zodiacs, hydrophones and underwater cameras, so that you can discover wild places close up.
